TOPIC: THE BELIEVER IS NOT UNRIGHTEOUS
TEXT: 1CORINTHIANS 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (KJV)
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (Vs 10)
Unrighteousness is a state of death found in sin. The believer is not only saved from sin, but has been delivered from the wages of sin, which is death. Death and sin has lost their right over the believer. He is one who has received the gift of God which is eternal life through Christ Jesus (Romans 6:23)
Therefore, it is profitable for you to live by the understanding and revelation of who you are, what you have and what you must not allow to find expression in your life as a believer. It is written in Romans 6:22 that you have been made free from sin to live unto God in holiness and righteousness all the days of your life.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (KJV)
You are not a partaker of unrighteous deeds and works. You have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and this is now your reality; And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1Corinthians 6:11 KJV)
Know this first, that those unrighteous acts are in your dead life of sin but now, you have been washed, you are sanctified (made holy) and have been justified (declared free from guilt and sin) in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God. You are God’s possession and his righteousness in Christ. Recognize your identity and live in its reality.
The believer is not unrighteous, the kingdom of God is in him by the presence of the Spirit of God in his life.
PRAYER
In the name of Jesus, I know who I am more accurately. I do not partake in the unfruitful works of unrighteousness. I am not in my dead state anymore, I have been made alive and made to reign in Christ Jesus. Heaven is my home and abode, the kingdom of God is in me. Amen
